General Magic / Card Interaction: Treacherous Pit-Dweller & Supernatural Stamina

« on: October 18, 2017, 12:25:28 am »

So,

This is my understanding of how the interaction would take effect.

Treacherous Pit-Dweller dies. I have priority and I cast Supernatural Stamina. Because Supernatural Stamina is on top of the stack when the Pit Dweller dies the static ability to return to the owner should be assigned to the Treacherous Pit-Dweller. As the owner, it is my understanding that I am able to decide in which order the two abilities of the Treacherous Pit-Dweller go off.

But I think that doesn't matter because of the wording of the ability on Treacherous Pit-Dweller. No matter what, it will still go to my opponent. Is my assumption correct?

Thanks!

Padeem is also Vedalken.

I guess having Padeem in was to keep my Masters of Etherium on the board and the O-Niginata was to gain trample. I'm sure there are better cards to be using. I'm just not familiar with all of the cards and the environment yet. Do you have any recommendations?

Twin Tribal (Vedalken Constructs)

This deck uses the Vedalken synergy with artifacts to make a deck that plays out Master of Etherium big, early, and often. Walking Ballista and Aethersphere Harvester add tones of value.

Hi,

This is my first real modern deck idea. I'm really looking for some hard feedback here because I've not entered into the world of modern yet and I don't want to waste a bunch of money. I really like the synergies here, but is it going to get eaten alive by everything?

Fixed up my Sideboard, and added the perfect—for this deck anways—Enchantment, Bound by Moonsilver. It allows me to sacrifice my useless permanents (which can sometimes pile up) or my suicidal druids. Then I get to switch which of my opponent's creatures I'm keeping on ice. It doesn't block abilities and the deck probably needs some straight up removal, but it was a fun build.

Mina and Denn's, Wildborn Circus

From Demons in Hell to well Attuned Elves. Come one come all. First, see the technological wizardry that is the Ghirapur Osprey, but be careful, it might bite. Let's save that for a rainy day, shall we.

Mina and Denn can show you everything from a Gitrog Frog to a Hungry, Hungry Ulamog. They can steal your dreams or show you fantastical schemes of trees and vines shaped by thought. Finally, watch as the Druid becomes one with the land itself. Yes folks, Mina and Denn really have it all.

Now which way to concessions?

The Ghirapur Osprey was the inspiration for this deck, which has obviously made playing that card a last resort. Any replacements to be made?

Compact Cars (Boros Vehicles)

Dwarven Tribal running Turn 3 kill combo with the addition of Ornithopter and Built to Smash. This is going to be fun to play.

Standard should always have this many sets to play with.

Don't want to flood the forums, but I think I'm going to try this one out tomorrow night for myself.  My wife's deck is the Izzet Wizard Tribal? deck. Anyways, it will be fun.

Any comments, ideas for improvement, solutions for the worlds problems?

Izzet Wizards Tribal?

Take a cue from Docent of Perfection I made this deck. Some textbook curves on this deck. I really think it's going to be fun to play. Baral's perfect as the leader of the Tribe but Docent of Perfection flips to a 6/5 and bumps all your wizards.  Some archers at the parapets to help ease things along as you sling fireballs from the tower.

I brewed this for my wife. I hope she enjoys playing it/she wins. Any thoughts, ideas, comments?

On a side note, I'm going to be so sad when we go down to 5 sets. I might just play modern for awhile after September rotation. Dinosaurs and Pirates is kind of a shark jump anyways. If I wanted to play Smash Up I'd hop in my time machine and go back to when I threw it in the dust bin two years ago. I hope there's a pirate that looks like the Fonz. I actually don't care if there is. I'm going to name all the pirates after Happy Days characters. And then, to get really obscure I'm going to name the dinosaurs after Mork and Mindy characters.

These days are our happy days.

Sort of like a Pangalactic Gargleblaster but with aliens, sacrifice, bad copy, and an uncaring savior. Okay, so it's exactly like a Pangalactic Gargleblaster.

The sideboard's got cobwebs at the moment, though.

Went back to Cryptolith Rite. Eldritch Evolution or Coax from Blind Eternities should be my 3 drop leading to an Ulamog (or other Eldrazi).
